ISCAR Grades
VIDEO
ISCAR’s innovative and proven grades for a variety of applications include:
PVD coated IC882 for hard machining conditions
CVD coated IC5820 for milling with pinpointed high-pressure coolant supply
Chocolate-color carbide grades for cutting titanium, high-temperature alloys, and stainless steel
Post coating treatment ensures increased resistance to chipping, notch wear, and built-up edge formation, for longer tool life
IC5500 with multi-layer CVD coating and post-coating treatment
Prolongs tool life in hole making operations
Applications for some milling applications, e.g. round inserts in cutters for machining 3D surfaces such as blades in turbomachinery
PVD coated carbide IC806
Designed especially for turning high-temperature superalloys
Special applications in the aerospace industry
PVD coated carbide IC1010 and IC1030 for inserts from the TANG-GRIP and DO-GRIP families, for machining stainless steel and steel:
IC1010 is a hard submicron grade for parting and grooving with high cutting speeds
IC1030 is a tough grade for interrupted cut and unstable machining conditions
SUMOTEC grades for rough and heavy duty turning operations feature a special post-coating treatment for better tool life and reliability:
Improved toughness and chipping resistance
Reduced friction and built-up edge
Golden-colored flank facilitates wear detection
